NASA Head Says Extra-terrestrial Life and Area 51 Both Exist

Alien life does exist, but it’s not
hidden in Area 51, according to NASA Administrator Major Charles Frank
Bolden Jr. He told British schoolchildren that he was positive about
finding life outside of Earth because there were so many planets that
are Earth-like.

When Bolden asked by 10-year old Carmen
Dearing if he believed in aliens, he said that he does think that we’ll
someday discover other forms of life or a form of life, if not in our
solar system, then some of the billions of other solar systems in the
universe.

Major Bolden explained that there are
literally thousands or millions of other planets, and many of which may
be very Earth-like.

Major Bolden also admitted the existence
of Area 51 but said the American government wasn’t hiding alien in the
facility. He said that Area 51 is a regular research and development
place. He told the schoolchildren that he never saw any alien or alien
spaceship or anything related to it when he was there. He said that the
secrecy of the aeronautics contributed the rumours about aliens being
kept secret in Area 51.

The Area 51’s existence has been kept
secret for many decades, and it has fuelled UFO theories. In 2013, the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released a series of documents as part
of a Freedom of Information request and acknowledged the exact location
of Area 51 in Nevada, near Groom Lake.

The documents reveal that the facility was used during the Second World War as an aerial gunnery for the Army Air Corp pilots.

President Dwight Eisenhower later
approved the place as the Atomic Energy Commissions Nevada test site and
training range. Area 51 later became the primary site for the
development of the U-2 spy plane.

Major Bolden also said that the lack of
adequate toilet facilities is one of the main reasons humans haven’t
landed yet on the Red Planet. NASA is hoping to send finally humans to
Mars in the 2030s, but Major Bolden said there were technological
obstacles that still needed to be addressed.

He said that they’re going to do an
orbital mission first on Mars, similar to what they did when they went
to the Moon. According to Major Bolden, they’ve got to get the surface
of the Mars ready for human habitation. They want to build habitats and
houses using robots. He said they need better life support systems, and
toilets are a big deal.

Mr Bolden answered questions for the children’s newspaper First News show “Hotseat,”
which is broadcast on Sky News.
